title: Managing mechanical ventilation in status asthmaticus.
abstract: The principles of mechanical ventilation in status asthmaticus differ dramatically from those of conventional mechanical ventilation. The critical care nurse and advanced practice nurse play a key role in evaluating airway mechanics and minimizing ventilator-associated morbidity and mortality in status asthmaticus.
